In case you haven't heard, we have some exciting news to share!  We are building TWO houses this year! 

One house is being built with Sophie and Ivan (Kelly) Marshall, and their children. This is an Apostle Build, which means that 14 area churches have come together to provide monetary donations, lunches, and devotions.

This family will build their home at the corner of Pike and Oak Streets in Alliance. The first build day will be Saturday, April 22nd, and will continue every Saturday until the build is complete.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the Apostle Build will take place on Wednesday, April 5, at 5:30 p.m.  It is planned to be at the build site, weather permitting. The backup location is Christ United Methodist Church located at 470 E. Broadway Street.

The second house is being built with Donald and Sonya Wood and their grandchildren.  This house will be built just a few houses from our Apostle Build site, on Pike Street.

This build will begin May 6th and continue until complete. Both builds will run almost simultaneously.

The groundbreaking ceremony for this build is planned to be held at the build site (weather permitting) on Tuesday, April 11 at 6 p.m. The backup location for this ceremony is Christ United Methodist Church.

Our build days are on Saturdays throughout the spring and summer. We will need volunteers each Saturday beginning April 22nd through the month of July, with the exception of Memorial Day weekend.

If you are interested in volunteering to help build, call the Habitat office at 330-823-2448.
